4. And when the ten-month pregnant she-camels [5] are left untended,
[5] In the eyes of the Arabs, the camel was considered a valuable possession, and a she-camel pregnant for ten months was regarded as an especially precious asset, because she would give birth in a month or two and would also provide milk. In this verse, it is being stated that the terror of the Day of Judgment will be so overwhelming that a person will not even be conscious of safeguarding his valuable possessions.
